Last week, the European Space Agency (ESA) has announced the signing of a one-year contract with ArianeGroup, a European aerospace consortium. The intention is part of a bid to look at the feasibility of mining on the surface in the … Continue reading →

If you love gold, look at copper, said CopperBank executive chairman Gianni Kovacevic, pointing to a surge in demand. “There is a new invisible hand for commodities. And within this hinge of history, we are going go to about 50% … Continue reading →

Some cosmologists have predicted the existence of “walls bounded by strings” in the aftermath of the Big Bang, and now a team of physicists have created these quantum structures on Earth for the first time. Physicists in Finland have experimentally … Continue reading →
